Chapter 2187
Nicole clicked on a link, bringing her to The Hunter web, whereupon the mission interface appeared. It was a little
different than it was before. Before this, Nicole had only accepted missions. This interface, on the other hand, was
for sending missions out.
Soon, after creating a new nickname for herself, effectively making her untraceable, Nicole posted the search for
the five crests. She was wise enough to not post directly under the Crest Forum. After all, it would be too direct, and
everyone could easily guess it right off the bat and ultimately, know it was related to her.
'Who would let anyone know that the Fire Crest is in my hands? Who would even bother with the reward at this
point when they can come right at me.'
After the post had been uploaded, Nicole switched her computer off. She was very well aware that it was a
challenging task for anyone to take on. Indeed, she was just testing her luck, as her options were pretty much

'Instead of waiting, I guess the better way to do it is to think of other alternatives,’ she thought.
"It's going to be hard to find." Jared's voice blared out from behind.
Jared saw Nicole's post on the mission interface and immediately knew that Nicole was on the search for the Fire
Crest. Back when Jared was searching for Nicole, he had used the Fire Crest as a marker to search for her, knowing
that Nicole had it in her possession. Finding the Fire Crest would be equivalent to finding Nicole. However, none of
them both could be found, for there were no leads to begin with. Hence, it became a never-ending cycle for Jared.
"We can't give up like this," Nicole sighed.
'I have to get it back no matter what,' she thought.
Jared sat down next to Nicole. "What made you think of finding the Fire Crest out of the blue? Was it the treatment
today that made you recall something about it?"
"No.' Nicole shook her head. "Steve told me all about it earlier."
Upon hearing it, Jared's eyes darkened for a moment. 'It might be quite the issue if I must be honest. Everything
can remain as it is, even if she can't regain her memories.
However, all of these revelations would be too much for her to accept.'
"Let's look for it slowly. I'm sure you'll be able to get your answers." Jared said, not pressuring her by asking what
she could recall from her treatment earlier.
Instead, he gently comforted Nicole, as she leaned on his shoulders.
Nicole sighed. "I really want to regain my memories as quickly as possible. My memories, the Fire Crest..."
These were Nicole's top priorities, yet none of them were in her control. If anything, Nicole felt secure in Jared's
arms, as he patted her lightly on the back to comfort her.
It was then Nicole realized that she had unconsciously leaned into his arms, and in an instant, she started flushing
red from the embarrassment.
"I'm going to go take a shower." Nicole quickly stood up in a panic and scrambled into the bathroom.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis gave Jared a good chuckle.
Nicole's proactive response toward Jared had made him realize that there was a healthy amount of progress in
their relationship.
The next day, the sun shone brightly on Nicole's office, which, in spite of that, remained gloomy. Sean and Steve
were both there, having a discussion with her.
"There's some form of connection with Raine. Since when she has gotten the smarts for this," Steve complained
with a sour grimace.
"She doesn't have it. She just found someone who has," Nicole stated with a smirk on her face.
"Nicole, since it's Raine who's been playing tricks, do you have any ideas?" Steve asked with a pessimistic look.
Nicole bit her lip as she squinted her eyes. "I'm sure she just wants to watch Everett and I go against each other
while she sits there and watches the drama unfold. I can't let that happen."
'These were all tricks that she had used before. How could I
fall for petty tricks like these?'
"But if we do this, won't they be proud of themselves?" Steve said, clenching his teeth.
A sinister smile crossed Nicole's face at that instant. "Then let's make sure neither of them gets a chance."
